A group of demonstrators gathered in front of the Lebanese Ministry of Labor on Friday to stress their demands that they have been calling for since two weeks.A statement of the August-29 follow-up committee called for holding the Lebanese authorities accountable over stealing the public money; the resignation of the Minister of Environment; the return of the Independent Municipal Fund money, and holding elections in accordance with the law of proportionality.
The committee also called on citizens to participate in the central sit-in on September 9.
In the meantime, another group of Lebanese citizens held a protest in Ein Al-Mreisa to reject parking meters on the seafront promenade.
The protestors moved to the Interior Ministry after security forces arrested two of them in the place, and said they wouldn't leave until the release of two youngmen.
About 3 hours later, the two demonstrators were set free under a proof of residence, the National News Agency reported.
Also in Riad Solh in central Beirut, a number of citizens staged a sit-in demanding a regime reform.
